Abstract:

Background: Muscle tightness is the most limiting factor for restricted ROM and decreased joint flexibility. Hamstring and calf muscles are more prone to getting tight, which causes musculoskeletal problems. This study focused on checking the effects of various therapeutic techniques, including the sub-occipital muscle inhibition technique and self-stretching technique, on hamstring and calf muscle flexibility in subjects with tight muscle groups. Objectives: To determine the effects of sub-occipital muscle inhibition and self-stretch on calf and hamstring muscle tightness. Methodology: A tota

Abstract:

Background- An observational study was conducted on 60 college going students experiencing nonspecific low back pain of mild to moderate range[ on VAS 2-5]. METHOD- Assessment of hamstring and IT band tightness was done by using 90-90 hamstring test and Ober’s test respectively. Participant were checked for tightness and marked whether tightness present or not RESULT- Analysis of outcomes was done by the mean and standard deviation. The result showed that, 58.33% male and 95.85% has female has hamstring muscle tightness. 16.66% Male and 22.91% female has of IT band tightness. 85% population [b

Abstract:

Background: Football is a dynamic sport that requires athlete to perform many different movements and skills such as rapid acceleration and deceleration, jumping, kicking, and sliding, quick changes of directions. Hamstring muscle injury being the commonest injury is due to hamstring tightness. Prevalence of hamstring injury is common in football players because of its tightness. Muscle energy technique helps in increasing Hamstring flexibility of football players with hamstring tightness. Purpose of Study: The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of Muscle energy technique on kick

Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis causes excessive muscle contraction during walking, increased muscle tension in patients accompanied by changes in muscle stiffness related to hamstring tightness. Straight Leg Raise (SLR) is a measurement used to assess hamstring tightness using a gravity inclinometer. Objective: To evaluate the effect of uphill treadmill exercise as an addition to standard therapy on hamstrings tightness in patients with grade II-III knee osteoarthritis at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya.

Background: Hamstrings undergo adaptive shortening. It is common in healthy individuals to have a sedentary lifestyle affecting males (91.8%) more than females (78.7%). Hamstring tightness can interrupt ADL’s predisposing the person to further health problems i.e. plantar fasciitis, sacroiliac joint pain, decreased lumbar lordosis, knee pain, quadriceps malfunction, postural disturbances, overstretched lumbar ligaments, reduced muscle strength.

Abstract:

Background: Flexibility is a range of movement available at a joint. Tightness of muscle is caused by a decline in the ability of muscle to disfigure. Hamstring tightness can lead to low back pain, bad posture, imbalances of muscles and knee pain. According to previously performed studies, prolonged sitting can be a factor that leads to hamstring tightness; therefore, we selected nursing students as a participant in the study who have a daily sitting time of 6-8 hours. Hence objective of the study is to find out the prevalence of hamstring tightness among nursing students. Aim: The study's aim

Abstract:

Background: Hamstring tightness is a common issue among football players, particularly nonprofessionals, due to inadequate training, poor flexibility, and muscle imbalances. Tight hamstrings can lead to a higher risk of injuries, affecting performance and long-term musculoskeletal health. Identifying the prevalence of hamstring tightness and its associated risk factors can help implement targeted prevention strategies1. Aim: To determine the prevalence of hamstring tightness and its risk factors among non-professional football players. Method: This cross-sectional observational study included

Abstract:

Background and need of research: In computer workers due to their prolonged sitting throughout the day can lead to various problems like tightness of muscle, decreased joint range of motion and decreased flexibility. As hamstring is a key component of flexibility in the lower body and it is more prone to get tightened. Due to prolonged sitting in Computer workers, the hamstring muscles are in shortened position (posterior pelvic tilt & knee 90° flexion) which causes the tightness of the hamstring muscles. Therefore, the objective of study is to find out the immediate effect of active relea

Background Muscular tightness is frequently postulated as an intrinsic risk factor for the development of a muscle injury. However, very little prospective data exist to prove this. Hypothesis Increased muscle tightness identifies a soccer player at risk for a subsequent musculoskeletal lesion. Study Design Prospective cohort study. Methods We examined 146 male professional soccer players before the 1999–2000 Belgian soccer competition. None of the players had a history of muscle injury in the lower extremities in the previous 2 years. The flexibility of the hamstring, quadriceps, adductor, an
